How to install Logaholic on CentOS

Logaholic is a web analytics software which provides reliable information about the traffic, content, keywords etc. of the web sites installed on your CentOS VPS.

This install guide assumes that Apache, MySQL and PHP are already installed and configured on your server. At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest stable version of Logaholic is 6.0 and it requires:

PHP 5 or higher with cURL and Zip extensions enabled. The output_buffering setting should be disabled and allow_url_fopen and display_errors settings should be enabled in php.ini

Apache or Nginx Web Server

MySQL 5.0 or higher installed on your Linux VPS.

Let’s start with the installation of Logaholic SHE (self hosted edition). Download the latest version of Logaholic available at ‘http://www.logaholic.com/download/’ to the server and extract it using the following commands:

Download GeoLite Legacy Database at http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz , then extract and copy this file to the ‘/var/www/html/logaholic/components/geoip/’ directory on your server:

That is it. The Logaholic installation is now complete. Log in to the Admin area at http://yourdomain.com/login.php and click the ‘Global Settings’ tab for more post-installation tasks like adding a password etc.

Of course you don’t have to do any of this if you use one of our Blazing-Fast CentOS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install Logaholic for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.
